The Rebel FIars

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
What do the -confederates want with the
flags captured by the Union soldiers7 What de-
sire is it that President Cleveland wants to graft
fy so much as leads him to trample law of
Congress under his feet to gratify2 Each of the
flags represent so much of $1,000 900 900 the
rebel South cost the country in war, and so
much of the million lives lost by their war on
the Union. If they are now loyal
to the true flag. can there be any
treason 10 III 1t might be reasonable for Eng
land to ask for a return of the flags captured by
our colonial army, for the English flag repre-
sents government still intact. But what do
the rebel flags represent If people
pentant, loyal and true they will not desire to
perpetuate before their eyes the emblem of their
own treason. any more than a man convicted Of
felony weud desire to hang his par
lor the court record of his own infamy.
No, there is another Interpretation. There is
balfsuppressed pride of the Southern people in
the part they took in the war, and the fact Is
outbreaking in this demand for their battle
flags. A few years ago demand was made for
n flag in State library that had been capt
rebel battalion. Several times requests were
made here and there for the use of these
flags in the South for local celebrations. But it
remained for a general demand to be made for
Ill of them under the first Democratic admins
ration, twenty-five years after the war; and for
that administration to ride over a law of Con-
yress to grant the demand. AT end of the
line is a bold. growing desire to glorfy,
and sanctify, and perpetuate noble the
most wanton and internal crusade against
free government and human right, and at the
sther q miserable demagogue, who would yield
10 any national humiliation that would yield him
the solid South" in the next national Demo
cratic convention. As for Cleveland. the gods
have made HIM mad, and there remains certain
for selfish reasons, he seeks to plunge into new
debauchery

MARRIED SECRETLY.
A Sensational Affair Involving Former
Department Chief Clerk

Washington Special.
A case Of somewhat sensational nature is
about be brought up in the courts here.
A former chief clerk of one of the
departments is involved. For the past
twelve fifteen years ne has
been a member of the household Of q widow
who Kept boarding house in the West
End, and has been looked upon
confirmed bachelor. Recently he quit
his old-time Iandlady and took lodgings
elsewhere It is due to this act that the
sensation has come the surface Certain
statements made by the former landlady's fami-
~ led to an investigation which developed the
fact that the clerk and the widow were married
in Baltimore August 6, 1873. The mar
rage was never made public. There is
said to be quite romance connected with the
early life of the lady, who, it is claimed. is
nected with the affair. How much the romance
has had to do with the secrecy maintained in
this instance, is hard to tell. But it is certain
the parties have been entitled to occupy the
position of husband and wife for four
teen years, and have lived in the same
house, minglng with the other inmates with
out their marriage having been suspected.
Since the former clerk has changed his lode-
ings it is said the matter will come up in court,
in the form of suit for divorce, when all the
facts in the case will become known.

LOafing.

Docs the young man of to-day who
persists IN being a loafer wei reflect
how much less it wnuld cost to be a
decent, respectable man: Does the
young man of to-day imagine that
loaferism is as economical as gentllity?
Anybody can be q gentleman, if he
chooses to be, without much cost, but
being a loafer is a mighty expensive
occupation. 1t costs time, ia the first
place, DAYS, weeks, months and some
Times whole years Of it, in fact about
all the lime he has, for nc man can be
4 successful loafer without deyoting
his whole time to it. The occupation,
we'll followed, hardly affords time for
eating or sleeping, but does manage to
get a drink occasionally at the expense
of some friend. Once fully embarked
on the sea of loaferdom aud you bid
farewell to every friendly sale that sails
under an honest and legitimate flag.
Your consorts will only be the buc.
aneers Of society. 1t also cost money.
for. though the loafer MAJ not earn
a cent or have one for mon9hs, the
time lost might have procured much
money, ifdevoted to industry instead
of sloth. 1t costs health, yigor, COM
fort, all the true pleasures of living,
honor. dignity, self-respect, and the
respect Of the world. BE a gentlemen,
